When I am finishing a picture, I hold some God-made object up to it - a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand - as a final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it's bad art.

  • -- Marc Chagall 马克·夏加尔

当我完成一幅画的时候,我拿着一些上帝创造的东西——一块石头,一朵花,一棵树的树枝或者我的手——作为最后的测试。如果这幅画站在一个人无法创造的东西旁边,这幅画就是真迹。如果两者之间有冲突,那就是糟糕的艺术。
